Good Able Athletes Board meeting tonight in the gym office . . . How are we going to survive without the Page twins? . . . Check those freshmen; they ' re okay . . . Farmer, stop watching basketbal] practice and let ' s get these points decided . . . One. two, three . . . and four, five, six . . and let ' s swing out on this next one . . . and that ' s a typical scene in the gym. Lets have a practice game before that badminton tournament starts next week. This is just one of the many sports the Girls ' Athletic association has added to its program. The original purpose, to encourage a greater number of girls to take part in athletics, is being at- tained each year, as now one hundred and fifty girls belong to this group. Unlike many other organizations the only requirement for membership is a girls personal interest in athletics. Points toward the numeral, letter, and chevron awards are given for par- ticipation in any activity sponsored by the G. A. A. Five hundred points entitles a girl to a numeral and one thousand points, a letter. This year the board decided to give a chevron for fifteen hunderd points and two chevrons for two thousand points. A girl may earn these required points by active participation in any of these sports: tennis, volleyball, basketball, bad- minton, deck tennis, hit pin. and bowling. In the sports, volleyball, basketball, .ind hit pin. in- tramural and interdass tournaments are held. The governing body of the G. A. A. is the board composed of th; following: Theima Von Almen, president: Marjorie Ripley, vice president: Marcella Roberts, secretary: Betty Floyd, treasurer: Helen Mallett. basketball: Virginia Kennedy, volleyball: Margie Surratt. hit pin: Elaine Wening: tennis: Irma Rutter. hiking: Connie Richardson, minor sports: Dorothy Fridley. publicity: and Patty Roberts, freshman representative. This year the board, under the capable supervision of Theima Von Almen and Miss Adelaide Sawyer, was very efficient in taking com- plete charge of the food concession at the stadium. The complete success of this entire program is due. in .i large part, to one person whom we all admire and who is an excellent example of that sportsmanship which she stresses, Miss Adelaide Sawyer. — Marjorie Riplhy, ' 40 seventy
